January Empties 2

Monday, 16 February 2015

For part one of my January Empties, click here. Between destashing, a few weekends away, and sheer will and determination I finished an absurd number of products this month. Keep reading to see how I did!

Ole Henriksen Nurture Me Cleansing Cloths --- Re-purchase
I love the yummy fruity smell of these, and what a great job they do of clearing the make-up from my skin.

Ole Henriksen Walnut Complexion Scrub x 2 --- Re-purchase
The best face scrub I have ever tried. I love the sweet nutty smell. I love that the scrub is gentle enough for daily use, but strong enough to get the job done. Love. Love. Love.

Ole Henriksen Sheer transformation --- Maybe Re-Purchase
I really like this product, but I don't love it. It does a good job, but nothing magical.

Quo Make-Up Remover Wipes --- No Re-Purchase
I bought a replacement pack, and then realized that Bioderma is my true love. Sorrrrrrrry.

Living Proof Restore Mask --- Re-purchase
I really enjoy this mask. After having tried seven different hair masks I can say with confidence that this is my favourite. Once I have finished up my final mask I will be purchasing this in full size, with a huge smile.

The Body Shop Honey Bronzer Oil --- No Re-Purchase
Meeeeeeeh. I have other oils I like better.

Lush Retired Conditioner --- No Re-Purchase
I like it, but I don't love it. I didn't notice anything special about it.

Manicure Scissors --- No Re-Purchase
Bought these from Shoppers last year, and then they broke. The end.

Make Up Forever Smoky Extravagant Mascara --- Re-purchase

This is one of my all-time favourite mascaras. I love the huge brush and how it gives me lashes for days. I have already purchased this in full size.Benefit They're Real --- Maybe Re-Purchase
I love this mascara, but I hate taking it off. Such a fight! I have found mascaras that look just as good, but that I do not have to fight to remove.Buxom Vanity Lash Full & Fabulous --- Maybe Re-Purchase
I love the idea behind this mascara: They have created one great formula, and about 8 different brushes. The brush I used "Full & Fabulous" was my favourite type: huge. I really loved this mascara and would consider a re-purchase once I run out of mascaras!Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara --- Maybe Re-Purchase
This use to be my favourite mascara, however I have since discovered others. This is a great all-purpose mascara so I am sure I will come to own it again. Great for simple, daily wear.Lancôme Hypnôse Lash --- Maybe Re-Purchase
I liked this mascara, but I don't recall anything too special about it.

Julep Oxygen Top Coat --- Re-purchase
This is my favourite top coat. I like the soothe, glassy finish, and I love how it doesn't shrink the polish underneath nor does it get too gloopy until the very end of the bottle.Tokidoki Perfecto Eyeliner in Mastro --- No Re-Purchase
Lol. I purchased this at Sephora years ago on sale, and proceeded to use it twice. Lime green? What was I thinking? Sephora doesn't even carry this product any more.J Cat The Big Lip Pencil in Carmel Mocha --- No Re-Purchase
Probably one of my least favourite IPSY items ever. Awful product. Awful brand. Awful value. I wouldn't risk this on my lips.Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer --- Re-purchase
I love love love love love this primer. It leaves my skin velvety smooth, with out the silicone feel. I will be repurchasing this again once I use up a bunch of my mini samples. Can't say enough good things about this product!

All in. There was another hand full of Sephora samples that I finished up. Nothing special to report.

Glad to be done this empties post! I've finished a lot of February products, so...another marathon of posts coming up. It feels really good to be destashing!

January Totals:

Full Size - 12

Deluxe Size - 7

Samples - 18

the cleansing cloths are so refreshing, i used them when traveling just to perk myself up when camping and there were no showers. I recently tried the MUFE mascara and loved it as well. you did a great job using up products! i am really working on destashing and using things up this year as well :)

That's a good idea! I never thought of them for more rustic travel. I love using them to freshen up after a long flight. Thank you! I really have too much stuff and I want to pair it down to only products that I really love.
